Does this device support drives larger than 2tb?

To the best of my knowledge: No!. You'd have to verify with the company, however. I've only used drives up to 2TB (mostly due to OS compatibility).

Not sure, I placed 2 2TB drives for a 4TB total and the unit performs fine. Very happy with the unit. Perhaps check the website to see what the approved drives it will accept.

The Perc6I will not support larger than a 2TB HDD. In order to use a 4TB you would need to upgrade to a H700 controller.

No, the drive is supported on a narrow ledge inside the box on the sides. There is no adapter for smaller drives

The Perc 5/i cannot use drives greater than 2TB. You would need to upgrade your RAID controller to a H700 before using this drive.

I own a WD 2TB 2.5" drive. Very few enclosures can handle it - it is 15mm thick. I use mine with a Drobo Transporter, which easily handles 15mm drives.

Greetings, Great question. Currently, 1TB and 2TB drives are available in the 2.5" form factor with a height dimension of 9.5mm. The height dimension is important for physical compatibility with this configuration. Best regards, MITXPC

Yes this will support dual 2.5, 2TB drives as a RAID0 stripeset. I am currently using it with two Samsung ST2000LM003, 9.5mm drives.

I can't confirm a 2tb drive but I have a 1tb Toshiba canvio portable drive that works. I plug it directly into the smartstick and it get's it's power from the stick. Just load up your movies, music, pics and it will detect it automatically.

No it won't support 4TB drives. According to the specs it will support 3TB.

The one I received is not identical to the one in the picture. Mine says SDHC/SD Extreme - 6th generation. I have no idea if it would support 2TB because I only have tested it with up to 64GB, but so far i am quite happy with its performance.

I would recommend you to search for the answer to this question on Pivos forums http://www.pivosforums.com/viewforum.php?f=3. I think that the device doesn't support hard drives over 3 TB, but I'm not 100% sure.

This device will recognize up to 2TB formatter as MBR and up to 4TB formtted as GPT

No, you can not. The device takes 3.5 inch drives and can not use 2.5 inch drives.

I currently have a 3TB Western Digital SATA drive installed. So yes it will support over 2TB. I cannot confirm about 4TB support however.

Assuming you mean "capacity" and not "physical size", I don't think so. I picked this up from the store, and returned it the next day after it failed to work with a 3TB WD Caviar Green drive, though it worked fine with a 1TB version of the same drive. I never did any additional research, so I don't know for sure, but it's probably limited to 2TB hdds, like most of the older external enclosures I've come across.
